  1. Can I install Windows 10 32 bit on my 64 bit processor core i3 9100T ?


    Reasoning: We have a legacy software which only runs on 32 bit system. We have tried doing stuff like IIS, compatibility troubleshooter etc. but none of them work on that tool. It only works on 32 bit system.We are running it on single PC currently and for now we have acquired a new PC for back up if any problems arise in future to our main PC. It has come with core i3 9100T which is a 64 bit processor.Is there any way we can install 32 bit Windows 10 Pro on this machine?Machine is Dell Optiplex 3070 with core i3 9100T & a SSD inside.I tried doing clean install using USB. Installation proc

    Windows 10 32-bit OS to 64-bit with a 64-bit based processor

    How can I change my Windows 10 32-bit OS to 64-bit as I've a 64-bit based processor?

    I tried downloading the Windows 10 64-bit OS from the microsoft site like an ISO file and tried running it, but it says that this pc can't run that software where Windows 10 32-bit was already installed. Then, I tried installing it online but it didn't show
    me any option to select between 32-bit and 64-bit instead directly installed the windows 10 32-bit again. Now I'm really helpless how to change my OS to 64-bit as I've a x64-bit based processor. Somebody please help me..............,

  3. Windows 10 32-bit native UEFI install on Desktop/laptop with processor intel core i3/i5 or its amd equivalent

    So native UEFI install of Windows 10 32-bit is supported even on intel core i3/5/7 or its AMD equivalents processors?

    because I've asked in different forums and here's a quote of the answer I've got:

    "A 64-bit UEFI PC can only boot 64-bit versions of Windows. A 32-bit PC can only boot 32-bit versions of Windows. In some cases, while in legacy BIOS mode, you may be able to run 32-bit Windows on a 64-bit PC, assuming the manufacturer supports
    32-bit legacy BIOS mode on the PC.

    I mean that unless you are using Atom-based tablets and SOC's with 32bit UEFI ROM's,your options will be A)Install Windows x64 (aka the Right option) and B)Install 32bit in BIOS mode(aka legacy mode)"

    It's just so confusing because even
    Microsoft's technet site
    notes that:

    "While in UEFI mode, the Windows version must match the PC architecture. A 64-bit UEFI PC can only boot 64-bit versions of Windows. A 32-bit PC can only boot 32-bit versions of Windows. In
    some cases, while in legacy BIOS mode, you may be able to run 32-bit Windows on a 64-bit PC, assuming the manufacturer supports 32-bit legacy BIOS mode on the PC."


    So the way I understand it is that Native UEFI install of Windows 10 32-bit only works with mobile devices (Atom-based tablets)
    and Desktop (SOC's) where in its processor are mobile processors Intel Atom based.

    Otherwise, if you're using a 64-bit PC, which I assume means are the ones using the
    "real" Desktop/laptop x64 processors (intel core i3/5/7 or its AMD equivalent), then Native UEFI install of Windows 10 32-bit won't work with it and you have to use BIOS
    mode(aka legacy mode).


    So, which is the case then? Does Windows 10 32-bit truly can install in Native UEFI mode (not CSM/legacy BIOS mode) even in Desktop PC/laptop with intel core i3/5/7 or its AMD
    equivalent
    based processors?
